It's almost here

Thursday is behind me (thank goodness, I'm glad to have a test and communication law logs completed, as well as the 11 pm sports show). Friday is here and with it all her glory. The excitement of the game is right here.

Big news last night, as USC was toppled by Oregon State. The Beavers have become USC's bugaboo in recent history. USC was flat outplayed, no question about it. For as amazing as USC has been under Pete Carroll, they somehow always find a way to lose to a much inferior opponent. That's very perplexing. Maybe they read into their press clippings too much? Maybe it's just that hard to bring it mentally every single week. Now, what looked to be the most dominant team of the season could be out of the national title hunt. Still a long ways to go, but there are still a lot of quality teams that have not lost or only have one loss. But things will be shaken up before it's all said and done. USC is the media and ESPN darling, so if any team can come back, it could be them.

Georgia now sits primed to reclaim the top spot in the polls if they can Finish The Drill against Alabama. Oklahoma could get a test from TCU, and that game will be very interesting.

For now, class calls. I hope to do a game prediction later today.

1 more day...
